a relatively new wit SR that is decently strong even at LB0, though still objectively beaten by Marv SR until MLB.

Cards that give generic or distance-specific gold speed skills are very valuable to front runners. Kitasan Black hasn't gone

away despite only 5% race bonus. El Condor Pasa gives <Skill skill={200721} hint="tunes" mention />.

For parent runs, Smart Falcon SSR is mandatory. She gives guaranteed <Skill skill={201601} hint="gw" mention /> in her chain,
|
||||||
|
and her gold skill is <Skill skill={200451} hint="gold pp" mention />, which you want for building a
|
||||||
|
<a href="#lane-combo">lane combo</a> legacy. On ace runs, she is acceptable if you own her at MLB, but you'd rather get her skills
|
||||||
|
from inheritance and use the card slot for a strong speed skill.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||

Seiun Sky SSR is another good parent run card. Her chain starts with <Skill skill={201262} hint="dd" mention /> and ends with

|
<Skill skill={200451} hint="escape artist" mention /> (albeit agemasen).

A future sight advisory: Maruzensky's speed SSR is coming in early July. At this point, you should probably be saving all your

carats for her. She is an extremely strong stat stick and gives <Skill skill={201271} hint="top runner" mention />, the gold

version of <Skill skill={201272} hint="leader's pride" mention />.

Valentine's Mihono Bourbon (VBourbon) is the easiest font runner to train because she has <Skill

||||||
|
skill={201601}
|
||||||
|
hint="gw"
|
||||||
|
mention
|
||||||
|
/> built in, whereas most others have to get it from either inheritance or cards that aren't terribly strong. She is also the
|
||||||
|
strongest front runner, because <Skill skill={110261} hint="cacao" mention /> is full strength, mid race, extremely forgiving
|
||||||
|
in activation, and even has a heal. And she has <Skill skill={200431} hint="conc" mention /> and <Skill
|
||||||
|
skill={200541}
|
||||||
|
hint="escape artist"
|
||||||
|
mention
|
||||||
|
/> built in, both strong distance-agnostic front runner skills with awkward sources otherwise. And she's a great parent for all
|
||||||
|
the same reasons that her unique is strong (except that the heal becomes irrelevant).
|
||||||

<li>

Summer Maruzensky (SMaru or KFC) is just shy of VBourbon in strength with her unique, <Skill
|
||||||
|
skill={110041}
|
||||||
|
hint="kfc"
|
||||||
|
mention
|
||||||
|
/>. It uses a heal to trigger instead of having a heal built in, but that means it sometimes has carryover potential. Using
|
||||||
|
VBourbon as a parent for SMaru works as a trigger, too, which is especially good for shorter distances that don't want to

||||||
|
spend SP on pure recoveries.

Seiun Sky is the source of <Skill skill={900201} hint="angling" mention /> and therefore the best horse for front runner parenting

in the game, forever. As a runner, she is outshone by the former two and others who will come later, but she is an excellent choice

|

which is extremely strong to have built in (especially noting that hints on Long Straights take 27 SP off the price of

Blast).

Silence Suzuka and Mejiro Palmer are currently the only runaways in the game. Both of them have uniques that are
|

|
inconsistent normally but very consistent as runaways:
|
||||||
|
<Skill skill={100021} hint="view" mention /> and <Skill skill={100641} hint="palmer" mention />. Outside of Team Trials,
|
||||||
|
runaways aren't very useful in the MANT era. (My Suzuka runaway remains my #1 top scorer in TT, though. Runaway and Conc are

|
both busted for points.)

Aside from these, there are some less obvious front runners, which is to say horses who function well even after fixing

aptitudes.

<Sec h="3" id="coc">Christmas Oguri Cap</Sec>

|
||||||
|
As is perhaps expected, Christmas Oguri Cap (COC) is very strong as a front runner on specific tracks. The front-specific heal
|
||||||
|
is <Skill skill={201282} hint="moxie" mention />, which activates at the very start of the first uphill. When that first
|
||||||
|
uphill is at the start of late race, as in the case of Tokyo 1600 Dirt, COC is online as a front runner.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
I've been told COC is very hard to train as a front runner. Something about aptitudes. I don't have any variety of Oguri, but
|
||||||
|
how hard could it be?
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Another rare manifestation of Front COC is as a third place horse in a <a href="#triple-front">triple front</a> build where <Skill
|
||||||
|
skill={900321}
|
||||||
|
hint="u=ma2"
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
/> is strong. I convinced Werseter, the Umadump guy, to try this for CM12 after he accidentally made an 8★ front Tachyon parent.
|
||||||
|
He reported a 7% win rate for her. (But a much higher win rate overall – after all, he was using triple front.)

|

|
When building <a href="#triple-front">triple fronts</a>, you will naturally have a horse in third. This presents an
|
||||||
|
opportunity to use a horse who is normally a pace chaser as a type of gambler.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Taiki Shuttle and original Curren Chan are notable for having C and B front, respectively, which is quite reasonable to fix.
|
||||||
|
Most other paces that could otherwise be called good are not so fortunate, or the things that make them good won't function as
|
||||||
|
fronts e.g. due to requiring other nearby horses on the final straight.
